perity comes from enterprise. The
man who advertises and hustles gets
the trade. The one who dozes and
waits for fortune to march in and
fill his safe with gold is generally
sold out by the sheriff. What ap-
plies to individuals, applies to cit

is to work for them. Trade is not

METHODS OF TEACHING. - We
have been shown a copy of "Meth-
DDS of Teaching" by John SWEET,
which has been sent to the teachers
of the Public Schools as a guide to
them. About one half of it is filled
with platitudes from Huxley Her
bert Spencer, John Stuart Mill,
Bains and others. Upon questions
Of moral training it directs the
teacher to perform the duties of a
parent. On matters of health it
gives one the province of the other.
1t gives a number of exercises in
different studies. For instance in
History one point of examination
is as follows ''Let one pupil think
of some historical character and
then give to the class circumstance
after circumstance until some one
is able to guess the name" In
arithmetic under the head Of zap
piled numbers an example is as fol-
lows ssJohn ate one apple atrecess
and another at noon-how many
apples did he eat? We might take
numberless example of the same
character fsom different studies.
We do not claim to be profcients
in the methods of teaching, but a
cursory review suggests to us that
SWEETS methods were made to sell
and that the book is ''bosh."
